Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, LORD.

ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૨૬:૧૭
જેમ ગર્ભવતી સ્ત્રી જ્યારે પ્રસવનો સમય પાસે આવે, ત્યારે પ્રસૂતિની વેદનામાં ચીસો પાડે છે; તે પ્રમાણે, હે પ્રભુ અમે તમારી સંમુખ હતા.
हिन्दीयशायाह २६:१७
जैसे गर्भवती स्त्री जनने के समय ऐंठती और पीड़ा के कारण चिल्ला उठती है, हम लोग भी, हे यहोवा, तेरे सामने वैसे ही हो गए हैं। (भज. 48:6)

In context

15You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.

16LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.

17Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, LORD.

18We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance on the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
